krayfish1's review against another edition
3.0
The author spent a couple weeks to a couple months each interviewing 1. A man getting rich off a management school, 2. Engineers who went to the US and came back & want US suburbs in India & who attempted to make computers for poor people. 3. A number of people involved in a farming crisis where a seed dealer promised to buy red sorghum at a certain price and did not come through because other seed dealers undercut the market & blacklisted him to the banks & this resulted in protests, his house burning down, etc. 4. Migrant factory workers in a steel factory - mostly the security guards were willing to chat. 5. A woman who wanted to be a doctor working 14 hrs a day at a high end restaurant in Delhi supporting 2 siblings.
The hunt for interviews is as much a part of the book as the interviews themselves.
Fairly interesting subject.
